2026 WC: Carlos Queiroz needs support, not criticism - Sammy Kuffour
Sammy Kuffour called on fans to "throw their full support behind newly appointed Black Stars head coach Carlos Queiroz, insisting unity will be key to the team's progress ahead of the 2026 World Cup." Queiroz was recently named head coach, replacing Otto Addo, who was dismissed last month following consecutive friendly defeats to Austria and Germany.
Kuffour questioned the criticism directed at the new coach, saying, "For me, [Ghana's struggles] is not about the coach...Have we been offensive in recent years? Playing Comoros, we were playing three back. Are we not defensive?" He stressed that "Whether we like it or not, we've already signed him, so we should give him the necessary support. Critics here and there will not help." Kuffour also advised that Queiroz "gets people who understand Ghana football, who have played there and tasted it."
Queiroz is expected to begin his tenure immediately, with upcoming friendlies against Wales and Mexico in May, before attention turns to the World Cup in June. Ghana face a daunting group that includes England, Croatia, and Panama.
